Best way to monetize a Adult Content website ?

    We have a dilema with our Adult Video Hosting website (actually many) :

    A) We currently have Seekmo as a Gateway (this is our way of monetizing the site) and we know, they steal affiliate commisions, they're evil, yada yada yada (excuse my arrogance but we have been slammed many times).

    B) We currently make $100 US a day (via Seekmo / Zango).

    C) Also Seekmo Gateway does keep the Bandwidth usage to a minimum, that's still using 5000GB a month and using 2 Dedicated servers.

    D) We also monetize the site with Adenage ad's, this only makes $50 - $60 a month.

    We don't really want to use Seekmo as a source of income and wish to replace it with a more user friendly way of making cash - any suggestions ? Keeping in mind that the site is adult and we do have moderate traffic (8000 uniques / 50 000 page views a day) and sites only 3 months old

    Some stats at the moment :
    We currently receive / send approximately 800 - 1000 clicks a day to sites on / or advertising with Adenage on the site, so we presume we'd keep the same amount of clicks if we go through a similar PPC site - and this is with the Seekmo / Zango gateway page which sends many ppl away from site when they click a video - so if we were to remove gateway we'd expect that to pick up dramatically.

    Try putting etology.com ads on there.
    You'll make a lot!

    They are like adsense for adult sites and the average pay per click you'll earn is $0.04

    Here is a new trick, set up a sms video subscriptions and charge say £1.50/wk. If the content is good you will find users signing up and staying on for months. This data is gold dust as well you can legally sell these. If you want me to help you in setting this up pm me or visit www.mediamustard.com
